Edugeekers and Their Motorcycles

[Sirbendy]

oh yes...kiss thy bodywork goodbye..

 

This is why a friend of mine uses his prized Suzuki GS550 in the summer, yet in the winter brings out the Black Pig, his prized Reliant. Warm and pretty salt proof.

My horn arrived today. I will try and fit it this weekend . I will do a before and after video or at least a recording to see the difference

[ChrisH]

Well the new horn is just about fitted. There was no chance of it going where the original was but I found another place for it under the fairing.

The horn is not quite as loud as I expected. It is slightly louder than my original but not much.

 

The tone is definately different though. The original was a bike characteristic "meeeeeep". This has definately got a much deeper tone and sounds more like a car horn.

Not sure what it is doing anywhere else weather wise but down here I am taking bets on how far I get before I get blown over!! Shoudl be fun

My motorcycle is a little bit older... i'm restoring a 1931 James.

Oh that's nice - that's really nice. Enjoy restoring it.

Where did you get it from ?

[TechMonkey]

Sweet! You're not down on the South Coast are you? I'm sure I saw one of these a few days ago on the way home.

My bike history so far:

 

2001 BMW F650CS 'Scarver' (what a ridiculous name)

2006 VFR 800 (Fantastic but not agile enough for city riding)

1999 BMW F650 (Bought off ebay, ran for 2 weeks then the gearbox ceased, miraculously didn't lose too much money selling it again)

Ex-police 2001 Pan-European (didn't fit on it very well being 6'6, seemed to have slightly too long legs)

2006 TDM 900 (excellent bike, had to sell as couldn't justify running a car at the same time)

1998 XJ600 Diversion (bought because I missed 2 wheels so much so went for something cheap, it wasn't much fun...)

 

No bike at the moment but dream bike right now would be a big trailie like a BMW 1200GS

Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R F3
